They can stop accepting payments for the NRA.

That's what's being threatened here.

Or did you miss that part?

Visa can stop accepting payments for the NRA regardless if they're dealing in US Dollars or Bitcoins.

Or did you miss that part?

Bitcoin doesn’t depend on or require Visa.

Or did you miss that part too?

Alright, enough is enough. The story is about Visa getting pressure to stop issuing NRA cards, and your response is switch to Bitcoin, which is a currency, not a credit issuing device.

I point out that it wouldn't matter if Visa were lending dollars or bitcoins, they're still lending company, not a currency, and you keep insisting that Bitcoin is the answer.

You obviously have no idea what your talking about, nor what the issue is about, so this conversation is over.

Sounds like a New Ad should be running on Tv, Radio, and the Internet::

If you Own a Gun or Believe in the US Constitution, VISA Does not want you as their customer, immediately Cut that card up. I am closing My Visa account tomorrow.

If I’m Visa, then if they want to stand out front and protest / petition, fine. The first threat, and my response is that Visa no longer processes membership dues for Anti-Rights group A. Next threat, down goes Group B, and so on.

I think his point was more the absence of a Big Company With A Big Building People Can Stand In Front Of And Who Cares About Their Image.
